Most of these scammers are not intelligent, they use the same methodology over and over, and make it very easy to spot out their pattern / language. Here are some tips to help our unaware friends to spot out these crooks.

Let us analyze the email above.

1. No recruiter will invite a candidate either for an interview or for a job offer without referring to the job position the candidate applied for. Any email without this, please don’t fail to trash it ASAP.
2. You have google, be proactive, check the company name online. This company does not exist as Scot oil and gas company
3. Check the email address of the sender (@acentres.com), Check the footnote below regards, the email address is @outlook.com. Recruiters and Parent Companies do not speak with more than one address
4. Check again the email of the recipient that will receive your resume, @outlook.com, it should rather be @scotoilandgas, if it does exist
5. There is a miss-match in the email message body. The 1st paragraph indicates a candidate as QUALIFIED based on CV. And in the 2nd paragraph the supposedly recruiter is again asking for the same CV that was reviewed and upon which assessment was made to qualify a candidate. This scammer must be intellectually poor!


So please beware, while you job hunt!
